Luka Mihovilovic (born October 29, 1988) is a Croatian-Italian model and actor. He is currently managed by LA Management and Luciano Reeves Talent for commercial work. In March 2015 he became SAG-AFTRA eligible.

Born on 10/29/1988 in former war torn Yugoslavia, Luka’s earliest memories are of sirens sounding and his mother gathering him and his siblings to shelter in the cellar below their home. In 1991 the Yugoslavian Civil War ended and the Republic of Croatia formed. Luka’s father earned a living as a ship captain and was able to afford his family with a “nice” lifestyle.

During middle school his family moved from their house on the bay to the city center of Pula. Luka recalls the city being dangerous, infested with gangs and having had several run-ins with the police as a teenager.

Luka continued to enjoy fighting and soon found himself fighting for the private kickboxing club “Lav”. Luka proved to be a skilled kick boxer and helped his team by qualifying for third place in the Croatian Cup, was entered into the European Cup; but later disqualified for poking his opponent in the eye. He later competed in the Italian World Championship and placed 4th.

After high school Luka found himself a summer job for a small aquatics company in Pula. He became a certified scuba diving instructor and was able to enjoy his summers hanging out in the water teaching.

In the summer of 2012 Luka left Croatia to visit California. While hanging out in Huntington Beach one day with a friend he was photographed and asked to participate in the IPOP Talent Convention in Beverly Hills. Luka placed 3rd runner up for commercial print and the rest is pretty much history.

Luka continues to reside in Los Angeles where he works full-time as a model and actor. He has had the opportunity to be photographed by celebrity photographer Bruce Webber, he has worked alongside supermodel Heidi Klum, he has been featured on the HBO series True Blood and had a small part in Lady Gaga’s music video “G.U.Y.” He appeared in the film Mortdecai(2015) featuring Johnny Depp and numerous other modeling and acting projects.
